We (I) put very substantial effort into migration instructions for
minor releases. Right now, the best way to view those is in the
main documentation, eg for 17.11 see
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17-11.html#RELEASE-17-11-MIGRATION
and then, if you skipped any minor releases, follow the breadcrumb
links to previous minors that had noteworthy migration issues.
The release-notes-only archive that Adrian mentions ought to be
the same text, but for some reason it's rendering without the
subsection headings, which at least IMO makes it a lot less
readable for this purpose.
(And that bad rendering *is* a fit subject for this list ...
anyone wanna fix it?)
